This is an appeal by revenue emanating from the order of ld. CIT (A)-I, Jaipur dated 22.05.2012 for the assessment year 2008-09. The solitary ground raised in the appeal is against deleting the addition of ₹ 80,00,000/- made by the AO wherein Directors of the assessee company categorically admitted in their statements that the same represented the unaccounted share transactions of the assessee company. 2. The assessee is in the business of trading of shares and stock broking. The assessee files its return of income on 30.9.2008 declaring total income of ₹ 6,21,87,380/-. The case was scrutinized under section 143(3) of the IT Act. On 19/07/2007 survey under section 133A of the IT Act, 1961 was carried out at the business premises of the assessee company and M/s.

Since all the transactions were entered into by the assessee company for and on behalf of M/s. Sandeep Stock Pvt. Ltd. in the capacity as Member Broker of BSE and NSE and acting as Agent, thus the interest of the assessee company is limited to the brokerage income earned on such transaction. After the conclusion of survey proceedings and at the time of filing of the return, the assessee company had verified all the transactions stated in the accounts of M/s. Sandeep Stock Pvt. Ltd. and as none of the transactions is in any manner related to the assessee company, thus no income on this account was offered by the assessee company in its return of income filed. Further, the fund involved in such transactions are owned by M/s. Sandeep Stock Pvt. Ltd., the appellant company cannot be fastened with any liability on the income generated on such transactions except the brokerage earned on such transactions which duly accounted for in the regular books of account based on the income was computed and declared in the return of income filed for the year under consideration. 3.
